Morgoth: "That Sauron! Tried to teach him everything I knew, and what did he do with it? I mean, what was he doing for all those millenia? Pulling the legs off elves? Waxing the steps at the Old Dwarfs Home?"
Farmer Maggot: "Baggins trash! I warned ya! Grip, Fang, Wolf -- tear his lungs out!"
Fredegar Bolger: "Hah! I fear nothing! Have at thee, foul denizens of evil!"
Elrond: "We've been watching you for some time, Mr. 'Baggins'. It seems you've been living *two* lives. The first life you live at Bag End behind a round green door, where you project a respectable image, eat six meals a day and ... you help old Gamgee with his potatoes. The other life you live in adventures, where you go by the questing alias 'Underhill'. One of these lives has a future...and one of them does not."
